INVISIBLE
Big Time Rush Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Do you ever wonder, when you listen to the thunder
And your world just feels so small
Put yourself on the line and time after time
Keep feeling inside that they don't know you're alive
Are you out of mind or just invisible

But I won't let you fall
I'll see you, through them all

And I just wanna let you know

Oh, when the lights go down in the city
You'll be right there shining bright
You're a star and the sky's the limit
And I'll be right by your side
Oh, you know, you're not invisible to me
Oh, you know, you're not gonna be invisible

Do you ever think of, what you're standing at the brink of
Feel like giving up, but you just can't walk away
And night after night, always trying to decide
Are you gonna speak out or get lost in the crowd
Do you take a chance or stay invisible?

But I won't let you fall
I'll see you, through them all
And I just wanna let you know

Gotta look far, I'll be where you are
I wish you could see what I see
So don't ask why, just look inside
Baby it's all you need
And I don't understand why you won't (you won't)
Take my hand and go
'Cause you're so beautiful
And every time that

Oh, when the lights go down in the city
You'll be right there shining bright
You're a star and the sky's the limit
And I'll be right by your side

Oh, you know, you're not invisible to me
Oh, you know, you're not gonna be invisible

Overall Meaning

"Invisible," by Big Time Rush, is a song about feeling overlooked and undervalued, but also about finding strength and support in a close friendship. The lyrics delve into the emotional turmoil of feeling like nobody really notices you, even when you're trying your best to stand out. It's a common concern, especially for young people who may feel lost or uncertain about their place in the world. The chorus provides a beacon of hope, assuring the listener that they are not invisible to the person singing the song. They will be there to support and encourage them, even when things get tough.

The first verse sets the scene, describing a moment of feeling small and insignificant compared to the thunder and chaos of the world. The lines "Keep feeling inside that they don't know you're alive / Are you out of mind or just invisible" express the frustration of not being seen or heard by others, despite your best efforts. The second verse poses a more complex question, asking whether the listener will speak out and take a chance, or fade into the background and remain invisible. The repeated refrain of "But I won't let you fall / I'll see you through them all" conveys a sense of steadfastness and loyalty, promising to always be there even when others turn a blind eye.

The bridge is a particularly powerful moment, as the singer pleads with the listener to take their hand and trust them. The imagery of looking inside oneself and finding what's truly beautiful is a poignant reminder that self-worth should come from within. The final chorus is a repetition of the previous ones, emphasizing the message to the listener that they are not invisible, and that their light can shine just as brightly as anyone else's.

Line by Line Meaning

Do you ever wonder, when you listen to the thunder
Do you ever think deeply about your life when you hear the sound of thunder?

And your world just feels so small
And you feel insignificant in the grand scheme of things

Put yourself on the line and time after time
Take risks and face challenges repeatedly

Keep feeling inside that they don't know you're alive
Keep feeling like people are unaware of your existence

Are you out of mind or just invisible
Are you crazy or not noticeable to others?

But I won't let you fall
I will help and support you

I'll see you, through them all
I will stand with you through every difficulty you face

And I just wanna let you know
I want you to know

Oh, when the lights go down in the city
In the quietness of the night

You'll be right there shining bright
You will shine in your own way

You're a star and the sky's the limit
You are capable of great things

And I'll be right by your side
I will be there to support you

Oh, you know, you're not invisible to me
You are not unnoticed or ignored by me

Oh, you know, you're not gonna be invisible
You will not be ignored, unseen or forgotten

Do you ever think of, what you're standing at the brink of
Do you ever consider the possibilities ahead?

Feel like giving up, but you just can't walk away
Feeling like quitting, but finding it difficult to let go

And night after night, always trying to decide
Repeatedly contemplating and deciding

Are you gonna speak out or get lost in the crowd
Speak up for yourself or blend into the masses?

Do you take a chance or stay invisible?
Do you take a risk or remain unnoticed?

Gotta look far, I'll be where you are
You may have to search, but I'll always be there

I wish you could see what I see
I hope you can see what I see in you

So don't ask why, just look inside
No need to question, just look within yourself

Baby it's all you need
That's all you need

And I don't understand why you won't (you won't)
I can't comprehend why you refuse to...

Take my hand and go
Accept my help and move forward

'Cause you're so beautiful
Because you possess such great qualities

And every time that
And every time when
